…Or so some particularly brain-dead Republicans would have us believe. Three times now I’ve heard GOP functionaries blather on about how Governor Palin is a solid pick for the veep slot because she’s been “governor of the largest state”.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Largest state? Oh please. Did elections suddenly stop being about demographics and start being about geography? Demographically, Alaska is not a major player by any stretch of the imagination, unless you’re counting per capita snowmobile ownership or something. Titular governance of sheer land mass hasn’t been significant since feudalism was in vogue. Then again, that’s about the era today’s Republicans would rather we lived in, so I suppose it makes some kind of sense. (I kid, I kid! Republicans actually yearn to return a much more advanced era.)
